I got a bag of seed potatoes at the fedco sale and I just went to cut them into pieces and they're rotted I assume they won't grow right? it seems as though they're rotted where the eyes are. I"m so bummed.
Even if they did grow you don't want the pathogen (e.g Fusarium et al) in the soil with the new plants and the tubers they will be growing. I would ask for your money back (supposed to be certified disease free!) and get some new seed tubers locally so you won't have to wait on the mail to plant.
sigh........ I guess I need to call them. I'm pretty upset about it. I got the ones I always wanted too. grrrrr
now, before I call them, was it my fault? I didn't put them in the fridge. I left them in the bag in my house. so they were unfridgerated for a week and a half.
Good luck! Too bad this happened, but if anything, I think they should be sprouting not rotting. Maybe it's actually a good thing you didn't plant right away....
You'll probably want a relatively shorter maturity variety -- short season or mid season?
